There are a lot of gamers out there who do not like D&D, don't want to play D&D but are stuck either finding another job or writing for it.Back when 2e is was new I played a lot of 2e and loathed it, yes I loathed it.Why did I play. Compromise thats whyI finally get my gaming buddies together (there were about a dozen I gamed with on a regualr basis and another twenty out there.) there would be a huge arguement that would go something like this#1 What do you guys want to play#2 Rolemaster#3 GURPS#4 Harn #5 GURPS Sucks#4 Rulemaster No wayTwenty minutes later -- How about D&D then#1 Sigh OKNo one really wanted to play D&D but there we were.I suspecta lot of those game writers would rather be supporting another line but none of the lines will sell more to more than (Wild a**ed guess) 5000 or so buying playersA D&D (or D20) book has a possible audience of well more than 20 times that. Guess who gets the money.Its really sad actually.  A lot of gamers can't play the games they would like because of unimaginative gamers or players to set in their way to branch out a little.</blockquote>
